[seqfan] Re: Composites in the i*j multplication table A333996

[Marc LeBrun]

Doh!  It's even more confused, since it says *composites* -- so presumably it'd need to *exclude* the non-composites 1, 2, 3, 5... which appear only in the 1Xn and nX1 cells...
So it would start 0,0,1,3,6,... (perhaps this is what you were saying, Richard?)
